Identification of the bHLH Factor Math6 as a Novel Component of the Embryonic Pancreas Transcriptional Network
17 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors play important roles in differentiation processes during embryonic development of vertebrates. In the pancreas, the atonal-related bHLH gene Neurogenin3 (Neurog3) controls endocrine cell fate specification in uncommitted progenitor cells. Therefore, it is likely that Neurog3-regulated factors will have important functions during pancreatic endocrine...
